| Feb 4, 2016 at 23:12 | comment | added | Brad Gilbert b2gills | I take issue with Perl 5 and Perl 6 being considered the same language. Perl 4 => Perl 5 => Perl 6 is about the same amount of difference as C => C++ => Haskell. I can understand Perl 1-5 being considered the same language to a point, since they are all mostly backwards compatible (some esoteric features that you shouldn't use were removed). | |
| Jan 19, 2016 at 13:28 | comment | added | Martin Ender | For completeness' sake, could "The only exception is Y = 2015." be changed to "The only exception is Y ≥ 2015."? | |

| May 21, 2015 at 21:01 | comment | added | Brian Tompsett - 汤莱恩 | @marinus - The rules do not require execution - well that is my reading. There is plenty of documentation on RPG II to enable a program to be written surely? | |
| May 21, 2015 at 20:53 | comment | added | marinus | @BrianTompsett: I think we're done for. I've not been able to find a compiler or interpreter for any of the 1965 languages. | |
| May 19, 2015 at 18:19 | comment | added | Brian Tompsett - 汤莱恩 | If we can get it back to 1952, I have someone spinning up a historic machine that could do 1951 (Pegasus) solutions and test them! | |

| May 11, 2015 at 7:07 | comment | added | Amos M. Carpenter | Being pedantic here, but I just noticed that one of the conditions for an answer being invalid is... "come[s] from a user that already answered in the last 5 years". Should probably be: "come[s] from a user who has already submitted an answer for one of the previous 5 years". Pretty sure that many a good answer would otherwise be invalid. ;-) | |

| May 4, 2015 at 7:35 | comment | added | ceased to turn counterclockwis | @CJDennis: as you noticed, people have been using common sense in how to code those tasks. In some of the languages here it would be very un-idiomatic or outright impossible to use loops (because they have no such concept). In other languages, recursion is similarly unfavourable. Just solve the tasks in a way that fits your language well; all that's required is that the result matches. As a matter of fact, I like this challange in part because it can really highlight some of the differences between languages, not just in syntax but in the way you approach problems. | |

| May 3, 2015 at 2:51 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | Should Task 3 actually use recursion or is it enough that it produces the correct result? If I need to write my own GCD function I usually just use a loop but I wrote a recursive one specially for this challenge. There are many submitted answers that just use a loop. | |
